U.S. Dollar Index (DX) Futures Technical Analysis – New Resistance Cluster Formed at 93.975 – 94.090

The safe-haven U.S. Dollar is trading lower against a basket of major currencies on Thursday, after the revival of hopes for a partial fiscal stimulus package improved investor sentiment and appetite for riskier currencies.

Traders are reacting to a flurry of late-Tuesday tweets from President Donald Trump, after he cancelled talks with Democrats over coronavirus relief that suggested he was open to piecemeal government aid measures.

Top White House officials have played down the likelihood that anything gets passed, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pursuing a standalone bill for aid to airlines.

The selling pressure is being further supported by hints at even more easing from the U.S. Federal Reserve in the minutes of its September meeting.

Daily Swing Chart Technical Forecast

Today’s price action is being controlled by the momentum. If the downside momentum continues then look for a pullback into 93.375 and 93.275. Since the main trend is up, we could see a technical bounce on a test of this area. However, watch for an acceleration to the downside if 93.275 fails as support. This is the last potential support before the 92.755 main bottom.

If momentum shifts to the upside then watch for a test of the resistance cluster at 93.975, 94.085 and 94.090. The latter is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the upside with the next target another resistance cluster at 94.770 to 94.795. #USDollarIndex##FX#
